Developmental Disabilities Job Coach information

What is a developmental disabilities job coach?

Developmental Disabilities Job Coaches are professionals who assist individuals with developmental disabilities in finding, obtaining, and maintaining employment. They provide on-the-job training, support, and guidance to help these individuals develop the necessary skills to succeed in the workplace. Job coaches also work closely with employers to ensure workplace accommodations and facilitate effective communication. Their goal is to promote independence and help clients achieve their employment goals.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a developmental disabilities job coach?

To thrive as a Developmental Disabilities Job Coach, you need a background in social services, special education, or a related field, often with experience or training in disability support. Familiarity with case management software, assistive technology, and sometimes certifications like Certified Employment Support Professional (CESP) are beneficial. Outstanding interpersonal skills, patience, and problem-solving abilities help foster trust and promote independence among clients. These skills are crucial to effectively support individuals in overcoming employment barriers and achieving meaningful work outcomes.

What are some common challenges faced by developmental disabilities job coaches, and how are they typically addressed?

Developmental Disabilities Job Coaches often encounter challenges such as adapting training methods to meet diverse learning needs and managing communication barriers with clients. To address these, coaches use individualized approaches, visual aids, and consistent feedback to support client understanding. Collaboration with employers and support teams is also key to fostering an inclusive work environment. Regular meetings with supervisors and ongoing professional development help coaches stay equipped to handle these challenges effectively.

What is the difference between Developmental Disabilities Job Coach vs Supported Employment Specialist?

AspectDevelopmental Disabilities Job CoachSupported Employment Specialist
CredentialsCertifications in disability support or coaching, sometimes requiredCertifications in employment support or vocational rehabilitation, often required
Work EnvironmentCommunity settings, workplaces, clients' homesWorkplaces, community agencies, vocational centers
Employer & Industry UsageNonprofit agencies, government programs, private providersState agencies, rehabilitation centers, employment services

Both roles support individuals with disabilities in gaining employment, but a Developmental Disabilities Job Coach primarily provides on-the-job training and support directly at the workplace. Supported Employment Specialists focus on developing employment opportunities and coordinating services to help clients find and maintain jobs. While their functions overlap, the Job Coach is more hands-on during work hours, whereas the Supported Employment Specialist handles broader employment planning and placement.

DTA PROGRAM SUPERVISOR

AJ's Safe Place Residential Group Home

Phoenix, AZ • On-site

$23 - $30/hr

Full-time

Posted 12 days ago

Job description

DTA PROGRAM SUPERVISOR

Adult Developmental Disabilities Day Program

AJ's Safe Place | DOWNTOWN PHX, AZ 85003
Full-Time | Leadership Position

AJ's Safe Place is looking for an experienced DTA Program Supervisor who knows how to successfully lead an adult developmental-disabilities day program.

This position is designed for someone who already has strong experience in DTA services, developmental disabilities, behavioral health, special education, or another structured day-program environment and is ready to take ownership of daily program operations.

We are specifically looking for someone with experience in:

  • Supervising and training DSPs
  • Managing a DTA or adult day-program floor
  • Arizona DDD services and expectations
  • ISP goals and member programming
  • Behavior plans and challenging behaviors
  • Staffing ratios, including 1:1 and enhanced staffing
  • Incident reporting and documentation
  • Medication and member-safety procedures
  • Community outings and transportation coordination
  • Staff scheduling and daily assignments
  • Preparing for DDD monitoring visits and inspections
  • Coaching, redirecting, and holding staff accountable
  • Communicating with families, Support Coordinators, and management

What You Will Lead

The DTA Program Supervisor is responsible for making sure the program runs safely, professionally, and consistently every day.

You will:

  • Direct and supervise the DTA team
  • Conduct daily staff huddles
  • Assign staff according to member ratios and needs
  • Make sure members are actively participating in meaningful programming
  • Train and develop new and existing DSPs
  • Observe staff performance and provide immediate coaching
  • Review documentation for accuracy and completion
  • Ensure ISP goals and behavior plans are being followed
  • Respond appropriately to incidents and member-safety concerns
  • Maintain an organized and inspection-ready program
  • Help develop activities, community integration, life-skills programming, and structured daily schedules
  • Work closely with program leadership to continually improve the DTA

Who We Want

We are looking for someone who is:

Experienced. Organized. Confident. Kind but firm.

You should be able to walk into a busy DTA, quickly assess what needs attention, organize your team, delegate responsibilities, solve problems, and keep member safety first.

We are especially interested in candidates who have previously held titles such as:

  • DTA Program Supervisor
  • DTA Team Lead
  • Day Program Supervisor
  • Adult Day Program Manager
  • Program Coordinator
  • Lead DSP
  • Behavioral Health Program Supervisor
  • Developmental Disabilities Program Supervisor

Preferred Qualifications

  • 3+ years supporting individuals with developmental or intellectual disabilities
  • 1+ years of supervisory or leadership experience strongly preferred
  • Previous DTA or adult day-program experience highly preferred
  • Arizona DDD experience preferred
  • Experience supervising DSPs
  • Experience with challenging behaviors
  • Experience with ISP implementation and documentation
  • Therap experience preferred
  • Strong communication and conflict-resolution skills
  • Dependable attendance and leadership presence

Candidates must be able to meet applicable Arizona DDD employment, background-check, certification, and training requirements.

This is not an entry-level Lead DSP position.

We are looking for someone who has already developed strong leadership skills and can help us build, organize, and strengthen an exceptional DTA program.

APPLY

Please submit your resume and briefly describe:

  1. Your DTA or developmental-disability program experience
  2. Your previous leadership or supervisory experience
  3. How many employees you have supervised
  4. Your experience with Arizona DDD
  5. Your experience handling challenging behaviors and member-safety concerns
